Tiller roto tillers

hilld · Feb 19, 2006

I am in Portland, OR and am in need of a tiller. I already have one of your top cylinders (it works great), but the shipping charges from the MidWest are a deal breaker.

Is their top cylinder just a part of a hydrolic toplink remote kit? Is it different from any other kit? Can you self-install?

hilld,
Have you called Dave's Tractor yet? Logistically they are next door to you. (530) 528-0755 dave@davestractor.com

Yes on all questions.

The install took about 15 minutes, most of it was finding the teflon paste for the fittings. Take out the top link, then install the cylinder and connect the hydraulic lines and test for leaks.

Off you go.

Thanks,

How are the Frontier brand tillers JD sells over the standard JD brand ones?

Ramairfreak98ss · Feb 26, 2006

wow the CCM tillers seem like a bargain compared to the JD $2800 they want for a 65" and im assuming the Frontier medium duty ones are even more for their 70" versions. Ill even deal with it being orange and not green lol.

JD tillers are made by Sicma and Howard.
Frontier Tillers are made by Maschio.

The exact same models are available under the MFG's labels for hundreds less.
You will have to search the world to find values like a CCM Gear Drive tiller.
